The child inside me feels a lot of relief now that Pokémon Z finally got revealed. I remember the old days when we got excited about Zygarde being a surprise Pokémon in X and Y and what could imply for the lore... Just so they didn't do much besides a new transformation in Sun and Moon with It.

I feel kinda emotional for having lived this moment, ngl.

Also unrelated... But I liked the pacing of this Pokémon Presents waaaaaaay better than the last ones? The mobile stuff went past really quickly and with a good format, and It was all direct to the point without a narration repeating literally what we just saw. Hopefully they keep this format for future ones.

In terms of what Mons will appear, the only ones I’m guessing are all Gen 6 mons plus Eevee and Pikachu.

Which means…

Professor Pumpkaboo Professor Pumpkaboo I think Pumpkaboo is making a comeback.

Legends Arceus threw in quite a few Pokémon not native to Kalos. With it being a hub for travelers, would not be that out there for there to be more Pokémon.

Plus there’s going to be regionals and new megas most likely.

This is for ME. I got into Pokémon a decade ago with Pokémon Y and Kalos has been the most underexplored region for years, we've been waiting over a decade for all of the unresolved plot threads to pay off which is wild to think about.

And I can finally use my favorite Pokémon in another game :ultgreninja: And this time it's a Legends game too

****, I'm so excited

Tease Unova all through the Indigo DIsk
Tease Johto all throughout the Presents itself (Literally every trailer has something to do with a Johto Pokemon, not to mention the Unown segments)
It's actually Pokemon Z

Gamefreak, masters of the unexpected :yoshi:

It’s funny as hell that they threw all of johto into this presentation and went “sike”

But also this 100% was meant to be revealed for switch 2 and Nintendo delayed that announcement. So Gamefreak was like “uh what do we do now guys”.

Yeah that’s a good point. I started with the Gen 6 mons since Arceus had all Gen 4 mons plus their families.

The only other mons I can see making it are the Megas introduced in X and Y (minus Latias and Latios) and any mon that got the Fairy type in Gen 6.

Also I said it not too long ago, but I never doubted megas would be back sooner then later. They put them into every other game.

Gamefreak clearly didn’t forget about them and wanted to do more. Let’s not forget they have plenty of unused designs too.

Like mega Jynx and Mega Flygon. Very likely they revisit those concepts in this game.

Lastly Khu has absolutely nothing for this presents right.

Considering he missed a few things in the DLC, they got his source for sure.

Definitely be careful of future posts by him as they won’t be as reliable.

Will we see Az and finally be able to obtain his Floette? Maybe?

Well he did at the end of XY, but I’m all for them retconing the story and doing more with AZ in general. Surprised this is not a game set during the war actually.

Fellas... You think the Kalos starters might potentially get megas?
Click to expand...
There’s actually great setup for this. Have the normal starters being from different regions. Then early in they give the traditional Kalos ones like how we got Kanto ones in XY.

They get megas and the game ignores why they never had them in XY to begin with lol

As someone pointed out on Reddit, Furfrou is likely going to be in, with trims.

This would leave the following 11 mons in Home purgatory:

Alolan Ratatta line
Spinda
Watchog line
The elemental monkeys
